Bulma opened her eyes and was greeted by the nightmarish face of Master Roshi. She screamed and backed up against the wall. Master Roshi's eyes went wide and he went in the opposite direction of her. "What the hell are you doing?" she yelled at him.

"Making sure you're still alive." he said to her in his crackling voice. He got up form the floor and sat down at the small table in front of the television.

"Why?"

"You just fainted."

Bulma shook her head. She'd just had the weirdest dream. She dreamed

that . . . oh well, it was too much and she was sure she'd forget most of it anyway. But it had seemed so real. "Where's Goku?"

"He's not back yet, but he's on his way. Everyone is just standing around now waiting for him." Puar said in her whispy voice.

Bulma glanced at Puar. "Everyone?"

"Bulma, are you okay? Did you hit your head? Everyone went to fight the Saiyans." Oolong said to her, staring at her funnily.

"Saiyans!" Bulma got up form the floor and grabbed her purse. She ran out of the house.

"Bulma, where are you going?" Master Roshi called after her.

"Um . . . I'm going to go check out the action myself." Bulma said, trying to make up a good excuse.

"But-"

"Bye! See you later!" Bulma said as she sped off in her air car.

Her mind was going a mile a minute. It was only a dream, wasn't it? Would Vegeta be there? Oh, Kami! She sped toward her destination, hoping, praying that he'd be there, and that it wasn't all a dream. She reached her destination, jumped out of her car, and looked around her.

She eyed him sitting with his eyes closed, meditating as he always did. He looked so young and good. She felt her heart melting as she stared at him.

"Bulma, what are you doing here?" Krillin said to her.

"I wanted to see the action up close and personal." she said, her eyes never leaving Vegeta.

"Bulma," Krillin said jerking her arm. "It's too dangerous for you."

Bulma's eyes never left Vegeta. She wanted to see how he'd react. Krillin's pleas became distant as she focused on Vegeta. Vegeta's eyes snapped open and he looked her straight in the eye, recognition lighting them. He lifted his finger and shot a ki beam at her air car. She jumped out of the way as it exploded.

"Bastard!" she screamed.

He smirked at her, his eyes challenging her. His eyes were daring her to do something.

She smirked right back at him. "You'll get yours. Believe me . . . you will get yours." she said softly to herself.
